Probably will get to it tomorrow. Some days just lend themselves more toward short posts. Anyway, I think the reason the Right allowed the Left to define this issue is the same reason the Right has allowed the Left to define any issue. It's easier to play defense than to play offense. Unfortunately you can't score points on defense. Take a look at the waterboarding as torture issue. How could anyone allow the Left to gain the moral high ground on the issue of dealing with jihadists? Because the Right either doesn't want to defend positions that are easily defendable or has no one to defend them other than talk radio and bloggers. I’ve been meaning to blog about it as well.
